READING VLOG: Both These Books Made Me Cry & 500 Pages Read!

i'm really liking it i just feel like there's so much nuance the character growths and arcs obviously a lot of trigger warnings because it is so dark it's a grim dark fantasy but it's just really interesting and also the historical inputs within this book are just chef's kiss

the poppy war is a chinese-inspired grim dark fantasy story inspired by the song dynasty the opium wars and the sino-japanese war the first one is an absolute wild bride

i can one million percent see why this book is so hyped because it is simply one of the most charming lovely stories that will make your heart glow i have cried not once not twice but on three separate occasions so reading this book
